### 1/5 — It does not work!!

*2026-04-10, version 5.18.0*

It does not recognize non German passport…

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-04, version 5.18.0*

Crashed when I started the video recording

### 1/5 — Fotoerkennung funktioniert nicht

*2026-01-10, version 5.17.0*

Habe 20mal versucht, die Gesichtserkennung zu benutzen. Jedes mal kam erst ein „move closer“ und dann ein  ein „try again“ (weil -Überraschung- ein Foto bei 15 cm Abstand vom Gesicht nicht scharf fokussiert sein kann). Und ich habe schon mehrere andere Identifikationsapps genutzt, weiß also an sich, wie es geht. Resultat: die App hat meinen Perso fotografiert und Persodaten ausgelesen, die irgendwo gespeichert sind und deren Löschung man nirgends in der App vornehmen kann, aber die Identifikation klappt nicht. Danke für Nichts.

### 1/5 — Abbuchung hat funktioniert Rest aber nicht

*2025-10-26, version 5.15.0*

Mehrfach versucht, 1 Cent wurde abgebucht, aber Identifikation fehlgeschlagen. Ausweis falsch gewackelt, die Info kam hinterher per Mail. Die App ist nicht in der Lage, das währen des Prozesses zu erkennen. Dann kann man die gleiche Id verwenden um „fehlende“ Daten nachzureichen. Aber man muss hier komplett alles nochmal durchlaufen. Jetzt funktioniert aber der Schritt mit der Abbuchung Teil 2 nicht mehr. 
Schade, nachdem Die Video Ident IDnow App schon nicht funktioniert hatte, werde ich dann doch in die Filiale müssen. Viel Zeit verschwendet.

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2025-09-03, version 5.13.2*

I was asked to use this to verify my identity. 
The document either said mover the document closer or movie further away. 
Tried it on another device which couldn’t recognise a UK passport and then demanded NFC to be opened when I indicated it was a UK passport. 
An hour later I gave up and I’ll show my passport and my agent in person. 

Not all useable.

### 2/5 — Für Foto Identifizierung ungeeignet

*2025-06-21, version 5.12.2*

Gut bei der Identifizierung des Personalausweises, aber ein absoluter Krampf bei der Aufnahme des Selfies. Ich habe es sechsmal probiert, jedes Mal in anderen Lichtverhältnissen und Sitz bzw. Stehpositionen. Jedes Mal hieß es dass man es nochmal machen muss. Extrem nervig. Ich frage mich auch wie man geradeaus schauen soll, wenn ständig Anweisungen auf dem Bildschirm stehen…

### 1/5 — PESSIMA

*2025-02-04, version 5.11.1*

ho provato più di 1 ora a fare il selfie incredibilmente non lo accettava  e alla fine non ci sn riuscito per fare la foto al documento solo 10 minuti wow molto deludente

### 1/5 — Keine Identifizierung möglich

*2025-01-21, version 5.11.1*

Ich Versuch jetzt seit 1 Stunde mich über diese App zu Identifizieren. Erst hat es ewig gedauert, bis die Fotos trotz sehr guter Ausleuchtung akzeptiert wurden. Dann ist es durch gegangen, bis zu Daten werden übermittelt. Dann ist die App einfach mittendrin abgestürzt. Jetzt versuche ich es schon wieder ewig, aber jetzt kommt Fehler e103. Nichts geht mehr, weder auf den PC noch auf dem Smartphone. App neu installiert, nichts. PC Verlauf gelöscht, nichts. Weiterhin Fehler E103.

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2024-11-15, version 5.11.1*

We got e103 error. Waited days for customer service. No answer. This app makes other companies look bad too they with with them.

### 1/5 — Really, really, really bad scanning procedure

*2024-08-19, version 5.9.2*

I’ve been stuck in a loop trying to scan my ID card
